Key things to understand about the Internet
Hi, and welcome to this article. Here, I will be explaining some of the key terms related with the internet.
Some of the points which I am going to highlight are:
- What is Internet & how does it work?
- What is HTTP & it’s significance?
- What are browsers & the mechanism behind them?
- What is Domain & DNS?
- What is Web Hosting & how can it be implemented?
So, let’s talk about the internet which in simple terms is also called “networks of networks”, because in the late 1960’s the company named ASPNET of the US Defence Department communicated for the first time using the similar technique which eventually became the modern web which we use today.
The modern web consist of an Internet Suite. Some of the most important protocols of this suite are TCP, UDP, and IP. The TCP/IP protocols which help to specify how the data is exchanged over the Internet by dictating how each data should be broken up into chunks, addressed to the destination, routed to the right destination, and finally, received by the recipient. Together the TCP/IP, control the two most important aspects of communication on the Internet. In Short, TCP and UDP specify how information travels, and IP decides where it needs to go.
